Bounds
is a very flexible bound maker game i stumbled upon, made by Ratent.
It is operated by a dark swarm firing system, and is extremely accurate. I only had a bug with it once, out of all the times i played it.
Basically, first u select how many bounds u have to pass to win the game, i think 3,5,10,15 are the choices.
The u use ure defiler's dark swarm to put archons on 'tiles', which in the game u see are lurkers burrowed evenly.
Each player has a 4 by 7 area to cover.
After u filled up the first stage, u swarm the nice + crystal, and fill up the second stage, all the way up to 8 if u want. (if u get about 4, the other 4 dont count, they dont stay as empty spaces)
When ure done, u just swarm the side panel which starts ure bound.
Then u can slow it down with the + crystal or speed it up with the - crystal, though i doubt u can speed it up when it starts, ratent made it so when it starts it is at full speed (5 stages per second, approximately)

Flexibility====7/10
You can't expand the bounding arena or make it smaller. And u can't make an endless game, which is what i would enjoy smile.gif other then that, its nearly perfect.

Difficulty====10/10
I put a 10 here, because its difficulty iscompletely customizable,which is always nice.

Gameplay====9/10
As i said before, its flexible game, very fun if u enjoy bounds, and extremely accurate. Hyper Triggers did their best here smile.gif

Replayability====9/10
After u played it once, u want to continue playing it, but after about the 3rd time in one day u get bored (thats a big accomplishement)
I would advise playing it 2 times per day. or one. depending on ure mood biggrin.gif

Overall Rating====8.75

Positive:

Bounds is awsome, Rantent did a good job. Its the only game of its kind and I thought it was impossible to do and now that I see it done, with no flaws, and very easy to get used too.
It has the best system for a making a bound in a game and I also like how you can speed up your bound or slow it down easily.

Negative:

There are some things that limit the game to how good it could be. One of those things is the size of the arena. I think you could make a lot more patterns if the arena was more square. Because you cant really create a diagonal line. But this is small. The other thing is that you only have 10 steps. I can think of tons of bound patterns that are possible to make in Bounds but the amount of steps you have prevent this. If only it was unlimited tongue.gif or doubled.

The bound arena place where the explosions went could of been bigger, well i think so.
Difficulty:10/10
It can be really hard depending how u manipulate it and what the speed is.
Gameplay:10/10
Its good if you like to play bounds and make ur own bound maps, even though this one pwns.
Replayability:10/10
It has good replayability depending how u make ure explosions the next time. If you have different explosions and other people do too theres less chance u will get bored.
Overall Rating:9.5
Overall its a great map and is good for newcomers and pros.

This is a very fun and neat game. I think it would be neat to make a bound maker map where 4 plaers are bounders and play minigames until the bound maker is finished. instead of 1 4x7 area it would be a whole empty bound and yo do 1 level at a time. which each 1 would have a different size and design. maybe the first be 4x7 the second be 1x7 and other scenerios.

Overall 9.8/10
